New York Indie Jazz Saxophonist Cal Payne Featuring the “Cal Payne Project”

Brooklyn, New York Indie Jazz Saxophonist Cal Payne Featuring the “Cal Payne Project”. We are in for a treat this evening with another gifted musician whose spirit glides with the sax in a way that touches your spirit. Music, spirit, and soul transcend us to the universe in its language of healing… Cal Payne, is all about the music. Far beyond the cliché and deeper than a casual flirtation with melody and sound, Cal Payne is a player to his core. With a jazz /instrumental style that combines elements of R&B, Latin, Fusion Jazz, and rock, his performance and presence invokes a combination of Grover Washington Jr. and Santana. Driven by an unceasing desire to compose and perform, he is most alive when engaged in the emotional and spiritual experience of making music. Music: this is the essence of the “Cal Payne Project”.

Among several qualities that distinguished him then, and continue to set him apart now, is a fascinating hybrid of technique and style due to his never having taken formal music lessons. The unique optimism and perception of music that is found in self-taught players marks his approach to music with an attention to what music can do and how many ways it can be approached. The result is a bold and unconventional improvisation style that goes for the guts and doesn’t hold back or play it safe, yet not at the cost of his connection with his audience.

So, sit back relax have a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of wine enjoy some good conversation & music. Hang out with us Friday, 10/22/10 evening sooth your spirit with healing music from “Cal Payne”…
